6 Amazing Coffee Protein Shakes

Wouldn’t it be perfect if there was a protein shake, which offers plenty proteins, boosts your energy, is super healthy, tastes terrific and the best of all: costs just a few bucks? There is! I am not trying to sell you a wonder-shake. What I am talking about is a coffee protein shake!

Just think for a minute about it. Coffee is rich in caffeine, a powerful stimulant which gets absorbed into your blood and then travels to your brain. After arriving, it helps you to stay aware, boosts your memory, improves you focus and increases your energy level.

Of course you might think: “Caffeine is a psychoactive drug with various harmful properties. You should minimize your caffeine intake as much as possible.”

To all haters out there: You are not wrong…but you are also not completely right. Caffeine is only dangerous and harmful to one’s health, when consumed in high amounts. Four cups of coffee are linked to earlier dead, whereby most health experts recommend one or two cups coffee a day.

So instead of drinking a boring cup of coffee in the morning, do something for your health and prepare a coffee protein shake. Here is a list with amazing coffee protein shake recipes. Just follow the instructions and try it by yourself!

Simple Coffee Protein Shake

This one is quick and easy. Grab a half banana and throw it into your blender. Now add one scoop vanilla protein powder, ½ cup milk and ½ cup cooled coffee into the blender. Mix everything together and serve it. Additionally you can add some ice into the mix or sprinkle some cacao over your finished protein shake.

What I like about this particular coffee protein shakes is the fact, that the simplicity leaves space for creativity and experiments. As an example: Instead of adding cacao, you can choose cinnamon, chia seed or vanilla extract as refinement.
